Ken, one time I posted something I heard one time. It went "when you build a flathead you will never spend so much money to go so slow."
The flathead lovers were up in arms about that statement.

That's a neat little trinket, there.
Arduns are the stuff of legends - maybe small legends, but------
25k for a flattie??
In 1959, it cost me $500 to rebuild an 8BA, complete with new pistons, cam ("3/4 race"), ground crank, Offy aluminum heads, and a three pot intake; that was a truly sizeable sum at that time, though, took me six months to save it up. Ran it against a guy with a 332 in his '51 Vic, and nosed him over a the lenght of a mile; the two cars were almost identical, other than the engines.

Twistin' and bangin' on stuff for about sixty or so years; beat up and busted, but not entirely dead - yet.

I can see why that didn't go over too good, truth hurts sometimes!! I like to use them for the theme of the build.

A friend of my dad had a '48 Cadillac with the last year flathead. I was in love with that motor through my childhood. I have no idea why I have never built one. I should put that on my project list.

Here is an old article on Ardun heads from 1947. Bet they were cheaper then.
